Actually, at this point I don't think any of it is "creeping". It's all coming down the pike pretty much full speed. But, since there's a website out there called "Creeping Sharia", off the top of my head, it seemed to fit.

As often is the case, it's been a fascinating week in the news and commentary world, and I'll share as many stories as time will permit- including:

The targeting of pastors and their sermons in Houston - Contrary to popular belief, NOT OVER.

A Washington state florist embroiled in a legal battle with gay activists that may cost her not just her business but her home.

More Muslim appeasement- from removing Christian and Jewish holidays from the school calendar to having the first ever Muslim prayer at the Washington Cathedral.

Mikey Weinstein is in the news again trying to dictate what a Christian college can and can't do.

And, fun UN and Common Core related big government/world government news as well.

Over and over the America people have turned their back on GOD. Once again they think god can be trick into help then because they pray for moment. Let us take a look?

Why has this erosion of American power taken place? Why has the most powerful single nation in modern history skidded so far in two short decades? The answer is not hard to ascertain! Long centuries ago a wise man flashed out the warning signal: "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people" (Prov. 14:34). More than any other nation we have been the custodians of the knowledge and the glory of God, and the missionaries of the good news of God’s salvation have embarked from our fair shores to nearly every nation under heaven. When Great Britain served God and honored Him in all their doings, the sun never set upon her Empire, and her navy ruled the oceans. But when she forsook the Lord, and listened to the gods of humanism, secularism, love of pleasure, sex, immorality, perversion and debauchery, the mighty British Commonwealth, once representing almost a billion people, began to disintegrate and has now fallen into irretrievable decay. Today it is just a shadow of its former self, and its decline hasn't stopped yet.

WE often speak of the decline in marriage, out-of-wedlock childbirth, morally bankrupt leadership, the decline of the true church, the failed public education system, the rising gap between rich and poor and they come to the conclusion that without desperate measures, that such a civilization cannot survive. Demographers point to drastically declined birth rates in every outpost of Western Civilization and remind us that demography is destiny; without new citizens civilization itself is unsustainable.

America has the highest: Incarceration rate and the largest prison population in the world.

Many have "gone in" on Dr. Creflo Dollar. Dollar is the Atlanta based megachurch pastor, who recently released a plea to his supporters to assist him in purchasing a new jet to continue his work of global ministry. The web has been inundated with questions like, "If Jesus could travel on a donkey, why can't he?" "Why can't he more like the Pope?" and "Why doesn't he help his neighborhood in Atlanta more?"

For those who go deeper than the headlines or are a member of this pastor and other successful ministries worldwide, they know that there is largely a measurable difference in the lives of people who adhere to the principles taught. Unfortunately, with 74% of millenials belief that they can either "Find God Elsewhere" or that "Its not relevant to me", they don't have the personal experience to relate to. They simply have CBS, the blogs and the watercooler.

On this episode, we will talk to Vic Bolton. Seasoned PR professional and devout Christian. He will help us give a unique perspective on this issue of judgement of the success of megachurches in the modern era of extreme secularism.

In this episode, blogger Sacerdotus speaks on the recent comment by Tim Thorton, a member of the church of England that it only has six years. Sacerdotus examines the decline of this Protestant creation of king Henry VIII and offers reasons why this denomination is in decline.

AmbroxiaX, Jim, and Renee chat about the recent Women in Secularism conference, Ron Lindsay's opening remarks, his take on privilege and "shut up and listen", and the subsequent fallout from the feminist community.
